A gentle yoga journey rooted in presence
Welcome to an immersive yoga journey filled with yoga, meditation, and pranayama – guided by yoga teacher Jenny Sørensen Vaage in cooperation with Apollo Sports – under the sun of Bahia Feliz.
This training offers a deep dive into resting, calmness, and relaxation through the practice of Yin yoga. The focus is on presence in the moment and wellbeing for body and mind – as you rest, move with awareness, and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. A wonderful opportunity to recharge and reconnect with yourself.
About the yoga
Yin yoga is a quiet and meditative practice that emphasizes stillness, relaxation, and mindful awareness. The poses are performed seated or lying down and are held passively for several minutes (typically 3–5) to gently affect the connective tissues, tendons, and joints. By doing less, you experience more – more calm, more connection, more spaciousness in body and mind. Yin yoga offers balance to more dynamic yoga styles and physical activity. It cultivates freedom of movement, inner balance, and a deep, lasting sense of rest.
